Summer salad with grilled peaches and zucchini

zucchini

peaches

cucumber

arugula

1.4 tsp chili flakes

buffalo mozzarella cheese

lemon

olive oil

marjoram

salt

pepper

olive oil (for coating)

The authentic recipe calls for one whole chicken, cut up. I am using a mixture of chicken thighs, drumsticks, and breast. All bone-in but skinless pieces. Wash the chicken parts in running water and set aside.

Spicy Korean chicken stew (Dakdoritang)

chicken

garlic

ginger

Korean chili paste

Korean chili flakes

soy sauce

tbsp Korean soy sauce

tbsp honey

tsp sesame oil

tbsp oyster sauce (optional)

tbsp rice wine (optional)

0.5 oz dried sea kelp (e.g. kombu)

water

onion

carrots

potatoes

green chilies

green onions

rice

Mince garlic cloves and ginger. In a large bowl, mix Korean chili paste, Korean chili flakes, soy sauce, Korean soy sauce, honey, garlic cloves, ginger, sesame oil, oyster sauce, and rice wine. Add the chicken and toss well to coat with the seasoning. Place the chicken in a large pot.

To make the sea kelp stock, put the dried sea kelp in a small pot with water. Bring to a boil first, then simmer for approx. 5 min. over low heat. Discard the sea kelp and you will have sea kelp stock.

Pour the sea kelp stock over the chicken pieces to barely cover them. Bring to a boil first, then cover and simmer over low heat for approx. 20 min.

Dice the onion and carrots, then add to the chicken. Simmer for another 10 min.

Peel and dice the potatoes to bite-sized chunks, then add to the chicken and vegetable mixture and simmer together for approx. 10 – 15 min. more. The cooking time will depend on the size of your vegetables.

If there is too much liquid in the pan, you will want to thicken the sauce. To thicken, when the vegetables are nearly tender, raise the heat to medium and continue to cook uncovered until the liquid in the pan evaporates. Stir occasionally but very carefully without breaking up the carrot and potatoes.

Slice the green chilies and chop the green onions, then add and toss. Serve hot with rice, and enjoy!

There’s nothing not to love about freshly baked manakish (Lebanese flatbreads). Thankfully, they’re super easy to make at home.

5-Ingredient Manakish (Lebanese Flatbreads)

active dry yeast

water (warm)

flour

tsp sugar

tbsp Za'atar

oz halloumi

lemon (for serving)

5-ingredient manakish (Lebanese flatbreads)

Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water. Add flour, salt, and sugar to a bowl. Make a well and add yeast mixture, followed by one third of the olive oil. Work into a dough using your hands and knead for 5 min. until elastic. The dough should spring back when poked with your finger. Form dough into a ball, place in a large bowl, oil the top, and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside somewhere warm for 1 hr.

Once the dough has risen, roll out into a log and divide into 4 equal pieces. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and press out slightly into flatbreads. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise again while you prepare the topping. Mix the Za’atar with remaining olive oil. Grate halloumi on the largest side of a box grater, then add to the Za’atar mixture and mix to combine.

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F. Stretch out the flatbreads and dimple the surfaces with your fingertips. Top each generously with the Za’atar-halloumi mixture and drizzle more olive oil, if desired. Transfer to oven and bake for approx. 8 min. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
